- Could be a pro/con depending on the person: Office is right by Grand Central, so commuting above ground can get very hectic during rush hour.

I came from a competitor firm. Not actually a con to me but I noticed worse employee perks e.g. no dinner provided on Uber etc

Pros

Excellect company culture, beautiful offices, very good compensation and benefits, amazing opportunities for professional development

Cons

Very fast paced and innovative with high expectations, if you aren't a fast learner and highly adaptive you won't last here. It's a hedge fund so be prepared for some serious egos, but generally speaking the people are quite nice. They don't have a CFO, so it sometimes feels like central coordination/strategy is lacking to the back office finance function.
